A hands-on skill for invoking Bedrock foundation models, generating embeddings, building RAG, and debugging access and quota errors.

What it does
- Gives exact CLI and boto3 request shapes for invoking Bedrock foundation models (Claude, Titan, Nova, Llama, Mistral, Stable Image).
- Clarifies inference profiles (
us.,global.), thebedrock-runtimevsbedrock-mantleendpoint split, and when to pick On-Demand, Provisioned Throughput, or Batch. - Ships reusable patterns for streaming, embeddings, multi-turn conversation state, and knowledge-base retrieval (RAG).
- Walks through AccessDenied, ThrottlingException, ValidationException, and ModelNotReady failures with concrete debug commands.
- Includes least-privilege IAM policy examples plus cost tips (thinking tokens bill as output, global profiles are cheaper).
Who it's for
- Backend and platform engineers shipping generative AI features on AWS.
- Cloud admins stuck on model access, Marketplace subscription, or quota limits.
- Data/AI developers building RAG or semantic search pipelines on Bedrock.
Example uses
- "Write Python to stream Claude responses from Bedrock" — you get code using the right inference profile ID and handling thinking blocks.
- "My Bedrock call returns AccessDeniedException" — you get checks for marketplace subscribe permissions, the Anthropic use-case form, and missing destination-Region model ARNs.
- "Draft a document search pipeline with Titan embeddings" — you get 1024-dim embedding code plus knowledge-base retrieve commands.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills/HEAD/skills/bedrock/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/bedrock folder from the GitHub repo itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/bedrock/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r aws-agent-skills/skills/bedrock ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and change into your working directory.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill:
cp -r aws-agent-skills/skills/bedrock ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm AWS CLI access:
aws sts get-caller-identity - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "invoke a Claude model on Bedrock" to trigger the skill.
